Possible coolent leak

Limeybastard · 05-06-2014, 07:29 PM

Whilst cleaning and inspecting the engine bay I noticed a little dried up coolent around the top radiator hose next to the passenger side air box. I cleaned it up as best I could. However if you see attached pictures you can still make out the dried blue coolent where the hose meets the connector.

I don't think what you have rises to the level of a "leak." More like a (very small) seep. It doesn't look damp, so it may have fixed itself. I'd keep an eye on it but wouldn't really worry about it unless it gets worse. If it bothers you that much, take the hose off and inspect the hose and nipple, but that is liable to cause more problems than it's worth.

Thats what I was thinking, just keep an eye on it.
